Well ya got me wonder'n my self now. Look how much sap wood there is? It looks like red oak in the log and it looks like RO sawn as well, but all that sapwood makes me wonder? You can see the rays in the sapwood too. there are 1 or 2 slabs of this that is 100% quarter sawn (Naturaly), you can see the rays through out the whole plank. BTW I didn't know Frank was from the west coast, Ya'll talk funny I recon I do too Dang Dudes, how long I'm gonna be NEW???
